Chapter 132 The barefoot ones are not afraid of you wearing shoes
The next day, Chu Ci was having breakfast when Qiuyue whispered, "Master, didn't you say you were going out today?"
Chu Ci nodded, "We'll be out right after we finish our meal."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, Chunhua was startled and spilled some of the soup in her hand. She quickly returned to her normal expression and said, "I was careless. I'll wipe it right away."
Chunhua wiped off the spilled soup with a cloth and stood aside, surprisingly silent throughout the meal.
After Chu Ci finished breakfast, he was about to go out with Qiuyue.
Chunhua lowered her head and said nothing. Chu Ci passed by her and saw her pouting mouth. He quickly understood what she meant.
Chu Ci patted her shoulder and said, "Chunhua, you have to know that many times when I take you out, it is dangerous. Obviously, it is not appropriate for you to go at this time. Just like many times, I take you with me, but rarely take Lele with me because she is too young in many occasions and it is not appropriate."
Chunhua lowered her head, feeling extremely regretful. If she felt wronged just now, now she felt regretful. "Master, I know. I thought you didn't want me anymore since you had Qiuyue."
Chu Ci wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Okay, now clean up here and take care of the house. I have something to tell you when I come back."
The master and servant went out and got on the carriage. Qiuyue asked, "Master, where are we going?"
Chu Ci smiled slightly and said, "Go to Zhao's house."
With the creaking sound of the carriage, Chu Ci arrived at the Zhao family, which was Madam Li's parents' home.
Qiuyue parked the carriage and went forward to knock on the door.
The doorman opened the door and when he saw Chu Ci, he immediately remembered. He bent down slightly and said, "It's Miss Chu. No, it's this servant who deserves death!"
"This servant pays his respects to the Princess Chaoyang. Are you here to see my young lady?"
Chu Ci smiled and nodded at him, "I have something to ask my aunt."
The waiter looked at Chu Ci flatteringly, "Please come in, my lady. I will go and inform my young lady right away."
The servant accompanied Chu Ci to the living room specially for entertaining guests, and then asked someone to go to Madam Li's courtyard.
Soon, Madam Li arrived. Before anyone could see her figure, they could hear Madam Li's voice, "Xiaoci, you're here. I was thinking of going to see you these two days, but I really didn't want to go to that place, so I put it off for so many days."
Chu Ci quickly stood up and went to greet her, "Chu Ci pays his respects to my aunt."
Before Chu Ci could even bend her legs, Madam Li helped her up. "You're already a county lady now, and you're still bowing to me. Isn't this embarrassing for me?"
Chu Ci stood up, "Aunt!"
"No! Mr. Li and I have already divorced. Xiaoxi, you should just call me Aunt Zhao."
Chu Ci's eyes lit up. She didn't expect to find a like-minded friend who had also experienced divorce.
"Xiaoci, is there anything that brings you here today?" The eldest daughter of the Zhao family excitedly held Chu Ci's hands with both hands, her face full of excitement.
Miss Zhao's personal maid saw how excited her lady was and whispered, "Miss, let's go sit down first. We can't let Miss Chu stand all the time."
Miss Zhao finally reacted and pulled Chu Ci forward to sit down. "Xiao Ci, I was so happy to see you that I forgot about this matter. Come on, sit down and let's sit down and talk. Serve the tea quickly."
After the two of them sat down, Miss Zhao asked, "Xiaoci, tell me first, what is it that brings you to me?"
Chu Ci took a sip of tea and said, "Aunt Zhao, I'll be frank. I'm here to inform you that Li seems to be doing well recently. Chu Sheng visits her often. She said she was poisoned the day before yesterday and is now recuperating in the main courtyard. Chu Sheng also brings her delicious food every day."
Miss Zhao's originally relatively happy mood instantly plummeted. "What? That bitch Li is still taking care of herself. Does she deserve it? What does Lord Chu mean by this? He promised me that bitch Li would be locked up."
At this point, Miss Zhao looked at Chu Ci meaningfully, "Miss Chu, I'm afraid your purpose for coming here today is not pure, right?"
Chu Ci touched his nose embarrassedly and looked at Miss Zhao with a smile, "Aunt Zhao, I just came to inform you. Of course, I also have selfish motives. I just want to use Aunt Zhao's behavior to achieve some goals."
Miss Zhao looked at Chu Ci carefully, very curious about what she wanted to do.
Chu Ci saw her confusion and explained, "Aunt Zhao, what I want to do has nothing to do with you."
Miss Zhao nodded. "I know what you mean. Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Then let's talk about my business." Miss Zhao bowed deeply to Chu Ci before standing up. "Xiao Ci, I want to thank you for the medicine you gave my mother. Now she's feeling much better."
Chu Ci helped Miss Zhao up and said, "These are all trivial matters. I will leave first."
After Chu Ci left, Miss Zhao sent Chu Ci directly to the gate. After Chu Ci's figure disappeared, she turned around and left.
Miss Zhao ran to her kitchen, took a look around, and finally set her sights on the kitchen knife.
Miss Zhao picked up a kitchen knife and walked on the road with a fierce look on her face. All the servants and maids of the Zhao family followed her, wanting to protect their young lady.
When they arrived at the gate of the Chu Marquis' Mansion, the servant beside Miss Zhao directly pulled the servant guarding the gate aside.
Miss Zhao went straight in with a kitchen knife in hand. Outside the door, there were huge crowds of people watching the fun, and some were running around to tell others about it and come to watch the fun.
Chu Ci sat on the second floor of a teahouse in the distance, holding a cup of tea and watching the excitement. This was all interest.
Miss Zhao entered the Marquis' Mansion and had only taken a few steps when Marquis Chu and Miss Chu Yue, his concubine Li, who had received the news, came out.
"Madam Li, no, Miss Zhao, why are you coming to the Marquis' Mansion with a kitchen knife?"
Miss Zhao didn't waste any time talking to Marquis Chu, and went straight to the main courtyard of the Li family with a kitchen knife.
Lord Chu quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Miss Zhao, if you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me. What does it mean to hold a kitchen knife?"
Miss Zhao snorted coldly, "Since Lord Chu can't do what he promised me, then I will kill this enemy with my own hands."
Miss Zhao strode forward while shouting threats.
Lord Chu saw her fearless look and was really scared this time. "No, it's because Li was poisoned some time ago. This time, I will definitely seal off her main courtyard. No one can enter, no matter who it is."
"Miss Zhao then put down the kitchen knife she had raised," This is better. Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? "
Miss Zhao stood still, staring at Lord Chu, "Mr. Chu, please hurry up and do it."
Lord Chu was forced into a corner by Miss Zhao. This matter had to be resolved quietly and must not be escalated. "Go, seal off the main courtyard. No one is allowed to enter, and not even a fly is allowed to fly out."
"Old Chu, you'd better keep it up for me. Otherwise, I'm not afraid of you wearing shoes because I'm barefoot. I've also made all the preparations."
